Cut by George Marino at Sterling Sound and Pressed at RTI

When this album was originally released in 1961, the press praised Miles Davis' precision playing and expansive lyricism. Someday My Prince Will Come showcases Miles' second great rhythm section, which is heard here at the absolute peak of its telepathic interplay. The recording features the incredible lineup of musicians John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. They were as tight as any unit Miles ever formed.

Someday My Prince Will Come includes positively blistering solos from guest Coltrane, who, as fate would have it, was making his final recording with Miles. That alone deems this a must-hear recording. But then there's the sound. Wow! Trust us when we tell you that this is absolutely the very best this album has ever sounded in any format. The details in the grooves, the width of the soundstage, the presence of air; everything is simply incredible. Our highest recommendation!

Musicians:
Miles Davis, trumpet
Hank Mobley, tenor saxophone
John Coltrane, tenor saxophone (1,5)
Wynton Kelly, piano
Paul Chamber, double bass

Prince Nico Mbarga (1950–1997) was a half-Cameroonian Nigerian highlife vocalist and guitarist whose music played a significant role in the evolution of African pop music. His 1976 hit song “Sweet Mother” (which sold more than 13 million copies) is so popular that is sometimes called “Africa's anthem”, no small feat for a continent with such a rich musical tradition! Like many, Prince Nico began playing with a hotel band in 1970, and by1973 had his first local hit. Cool Money is a rare 1979 album, originally released on the Nigerian RAS (Roger's All Stars) label, when the artist was at the height of his success. Prince Nico was unfortunately killed in 1997 in a motorcycle accident, which of course, has only added to his legend.

All-star session recorded in NYC in the autumn of 1958, led by Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, and Milt Jackson on vibes. The rhythm section is also no less noteworthy with Wynton Kelly on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art Blakey on drums. This date represents an interesting and successful juxtaposition of the two sides of jazz at the time, with Adderley coming from the more improvisational and swinging side of downtown jazz and Jackson coming from the more cerebral side of jazz as 'high art'. But despite hailing from different sides of the scene, both men are considered venerable “practitioners of the blues” and this is perhaps the tie that binds these men together on this memorable date. The group plays a range of tunes including two of Adderley's own compositions: the title track “Things Are Getting Better” and “Sounds For Sid” (dedicated to a favorite disc jockey of the time). Jackson also contributes one of his own themes with the original “Blues Oriental”, which leads off the disc. They also play Dizzy's bop-era classic “Groovin' High”, while Adderley presents his own modern take on “The Sidewalks of New York”. An important meeting of top shelf jazz musicians in a critical year in jazz history.

Track Listing:
Side A

1. Blues Oriental (Milt Jackson)
2. Things Are Getting Better (Julian Adderley)
3. Serves Me Right (Budd Johnson)
4. Groovin’ High (Dizzie Gillespie)

Sinatra's 1966 Live Album With Count Basie and Quincy Jones as Good as Music, Performance, and Chemistry Get

Half-Speed Mastered from the Original 4-Track Master Tapes for Breathtaking Sound

Audiophiles Will Be in the Copa Room With Sinatra Standing in Front of Them

Frank Sinatra. Count Basie. Quincy Jones. Las Vegas. Combinations and circumstances don’t get any better. And by every measure, Sinatra at the Sands is as good as music gets. Comprised of live material recorded at five nights in early 1966 at the famed Copa Room, Ol’ Blue Eyes’ 22-song album stands as one of his pinnacle achievements, the results a blend of superb chemistry, sparkling arrangements, infallible singing, and contagious energy. As part of its continuing series of essential Sinatra recordings, Mobile Fidelity is proud to offer the record in the most definitive-sounding edition available. Listeners will be transported to a table close to the stage, with the image of a tuxedo-clad Sinatra unfolding right in front of them.

By 1966, Sinatra had conquered the world. His tenure as a teen idol and maturing crooner behind him, he was confident, assured, focused, and quite simply, untouchable. Music’s top arrangers and composers came to him, knowing the magic that he’d bring to their labors of love. It’s for these reasons that Count Basie and his orchestra backs Sinatra here, and why Jones, in demand by everyone, chooses instead to lend his arrangement insights onstage at the Sands. Indeed, Sinatra at the Sands harkens back to the day’s when concerts were a true event, and the album is nothing short that promise. This is a happening you won’t want to miss.

Containing many of Sinatra’s most well-known and celebrated performances--“I’ve Got a Crush on You,” “Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words),” “Luck Be a Lady” among them--Sinatra at the Sands finds the entertainer in immaculate voice. He improvises lines with effortless and ease, casually adorns lyrics with hidden rhythms, stretches notes to instill meaning and emotion, and utilizes his impeccable knack for phrasing to turn a line and beget instrumental responses that complement each song’s mood. Meanwhile, Basie and Co. swing on uptempo numbers and lay back on melancholy tunes that still bring a tear to the eye.

Warner Bros. executive Stan Cornyn, writing about these very shows, observed that, doing more than sing, “Sinatra turns actor. The man whose broad’s left him with some other guy and all of the loot…And there is silence about, for this audience is watching a man become that last lucked-out guy at the bar, the last one, with no where to go but sympathy city.” And so it goes, Sinatra proving it’s the singer and the song, demonstrating a seemingly unlimited range as he transports you to saloons, romantic parks, lonely streets, and bustling cities. Everything—the pacing, structure, passion, interpretation—is perfect.

Mobile Fidelity has half-speed mastered this exquisite analog set from the original four-track master tapes, originally recorded by engineer Lowell Frank. Clear, big, and sumptuous, Sinatra at the Sands now resonates with previously unheard details, transparency, imaging, projection, smoothness, and dimensionality. Capturing a human voice remains the most difficult recording task. Suffice it to say that this 2LP set will join the ranks of the very best recordings you own.

Track Listing:
1. Come Fly with Me (Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn)
2. I've Got a Crush on You (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin)
3. I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter)
4. The Shadow of Your Smile (Johnny Mandel, Paul Francis Webster)

Extraordinary Sound Transports Listeners to a Small Coffeehouse: You Need to Hear This on Vinyl!

Peyroux's Half the Perfect World and Careless Love Also Available on MoFi 180-gram LP

Having proven several times over that she’s among the premier vocal jazz singers on the planet with Half the Perfect World and Careless Love—both available as limited-edition 180-gram LPs from Mobile Fidelity—Madeleine Peyroux makes her mark as a songwriter on the exquisite Bare Bones, her first album of originals. A thematic record that begins with wariness, moves to loss, builds to acceptance, and finishes with hope, the critically acclaimed set is Peyroux’s most soul-baring effort.

The record’s title says it all. Deeply personal and eminently mature, the chanteuse strips everything down, from her emotional guard to the arrangements. Peyroux penned many of the songs with longtime producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell), and also co-wrote the standout “You Can’t Do Me” with Steely Dan legend Walter Becker. As expected, a tart wittiness defines the lyrics, demonstrating Peyroux’s continual growth as an artist. Becker's contributions also spice the title track, while noted tunesmiths Joe Henry and Julian Coryell assist on other songs. As usual, the singer enjoys the sparse, elegant backing of a small group of first-rate musicians. Peyroux’s alto vocals shine.

The empress of the jazzy, languid groove does what she has done on her two bestsellers (and her half-forgotten 1996 debut); purr intimately about life and the iniquities of love over retro backings of brushed drums and polite piano that evoke Billie Holiday. –Neil Spencer, The Observer, March 2009

Sonically, Bare Bones continues Peyroux’s tradition of making some of the best-sounding albums around. Her tunes—direct, emotional, beautiful, detailed—benefit from production that emphasizes her strengths and puts a spotlight on the songs, not on any unnecessary tricks or embellishments. This is strictly about the music, its emotional effects on the listener, and the universal healing power of feelings associated with lost love and recovery.

It’s hard to imagine a candlelit cocktail bar that wouldn’t benefit from playing Madeleine Peyroux’s fourth album, Bare Bones. The ear loves to catch on the inflections of her supple alto, the clear picking on her acoustic guitar, the pacing as slow as a hand-stitched dress. –Margaret Wappler, Los Angeles Times, March 2009

Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 180-gram 2-LP set enhances the experiences of hearing Peyroux’s languorous gems. Transparent, airy, three dimensional, fully textured, and featuring extended response from the acoustic bass and guitars, this analog pressing puts you in the middle of a coffeehouse, with Peyroux and her small ensemble seated a few feet in front of you. It’s that good.

Mobile Fidelity’s collector's vinyl editions of Peyroux’s earlier hit studio albums have sold quickly. Don’t wait on this.

Love is the theme for twelve ballads of heavenly strings orchestrated by the distinctive Gordon Jenkins, sympathetically backing the intimately expressive and supremely musical voice of the incomparable Nat King Cole. Featuring such legendary classics as Stardust and When I Fall In Love, Love Is The Thing topped the charts upon its release, is among its era's finest, most stylistically defining recordings of popular music and continues to enchant listeners to this day.

Using the original 3-track session tapes from Capitol's vaults and all-analogue systems including custom headstacks, 3-track preview heads, console and monitoring chain installed at AcousTech specially for these releases, mastering engineers Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman realize the stunning wide-range potential and beauty of these recordings in this 45-RPM 180-gram vinyl edition. Included with this deluxe reissue is a striking six-panel booklet complete with rare photos, a 2,800-word essay by Chris Hall on the album and a 1,200-word essay by Michael Fremer about the remastering process. This truly is a no-expenses-spared project, resulting in the ultimate version of this title and a historic reissue.

Lee Morgan began carving out his musical legacy while still a teenager and never looked back. He emerged from Philadelphia in 1956 playing with such brilliance that he was dubbed the new Clifford Brown. Dizzy Gillespie, on one of his tour stops in Philly, heard Lee play and immediately hired him for Gillespie’s own globe trotting band. Lee Morgan was never a mere copy or revivalist but a powerful creative force from the start with his own fresh musical ideas. Few 18-year olds in jazz history have started out at such a high level and maintained it throughout their career. On Vol. 3 from 1957, Morgan performs five compositions and arrangements by the great tenor-saxophonist Benny Golson including the original and definitive version of the heartbreaking I Remember Clifford. Morgan's sound on trumpet was already brilliant, his ideas fresh and new, and his solos full of crackling fire and confidence. For all of his swagger and intensity, it is Morgan's passionate rendition of I Remember Clifford that remains in one's mind long after this superb album is finished. Vol. 3 is a superb musical document of the emergence of a true giant.

An influential figure in the early 20th century development of blues and popular music as a music scholar and as the composer of numerous popular songs, W.C. Handy has often been called the Father of the Blues. When two of the finest and most popular of mid-20th century musical figures, jazz and popular music icon Nat King Cole and style setting arranger extraordinare Nelson Riddle undertook an album dedicated to the music of W.C. Handy, the results were at once a worthy tribute and transformative. Particularly smooth vocals by Nat King Cole were aptly backed by resourceful orchestrations from Nelson Riddle. From the landmark laments of St. Louis Blues and the loving appreciation of Morning Star on through to the colloquial rag of Joe Turner's Blues, the varied facets of W.C. Handy's songs were given a lastingly freshened interpretation. Along with the contemporary Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy (also available here at Acoustic Sounds), this album is considered by many to be the best anthology of the music of W.C. Handy.

Happy New Year

It was one of those rare nights of absolute communication - the New York City opening of the New Stan Getz Quartet.

"Stan had chosen the Cafe Au Go Go for this occasion because of its fine acoustics and its intimacy. Atmosphere was paramount to the first New York presentation of the New Stan Getz Quartet and Astrud Gilberto because of the soft, easy quality of their music. Astrud had already won acclaim for her work with Getz in the album Getz/Gilberto (V/V 6-8548), which also stars Astrud's husband Joao Gilberto as well, and this threesome's single from the album The Girl From Ipanema was rapidly rising on the best-selling charts.

"This, is the stunning New Stan Getz Quartet with Astrud Gilberto at Cafe Au Go Go. Reflected here are the excitement, warmth and communication of that memorable engagement." -Gene Lees, from the liner notes of Getz Au Go Go

"Although the name Stan Getz (tenor sax) was initially synonymous with the West Coast cool scene during the mid-to-late 1950s, he likewise became a key component in the Bossa Nova craze of the early 1960s... Getz Au Go Go featuring Astrud Gilberto (1964) was the second-to-last album that he would issue during his self-proclaimed "Bossa Nova Era"— the final being Getz/Gilberto #2 [live] (1964) concert title from Carnegie Hall. ... the focus of Getz Au Go Go steers away from the Brazilian flavored fare, bringing Astrud Gilberto into the realm of a decidedly more North American style. That said, there are a few Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions — "Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)" and "One Note Samba" — both of which would be considered as jazz standards in years to follow — as well as the lesser-circulated "Eu E Voco." - All Music Guide

The aptly titled “Something Else!” really was something else when it first hit the shops in 1958. Ornette Coleman’s debut album sounded unlike anything the jazz world had ever heard before and like any true revolutionary he was simultaneously both heckled as a fraud and lauded as a genius of the future of jazz. Half a century later, and given Coleman’s extraordinary influence in both the jazz and rock world, it is difficult to imagine that Coleman could have had a hard time getting work as a sideman, but his style was so unusual that even fellow jazz musicians thought he was “out of tune”. Only a small group of people understood what he was trying to do at first, and this album, featuring Coleman playing his famous plastic alto sax, Don Cherry on trumpet, Billy Higgins on drums, Walter Norris on piano and Don Payne on bass, a landmark album in jazz, was so far ahead of its time that it still sounds fresh 50 years later!

Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1930, Ornette Coleman began playing alto sax in 1944 and tenor soon after, and is almost entirely self-taught. From the beginning Coleman chose the path less traveled, concerning himself with pitch and melody and trying to extract qualities of the human voice with his horn. The result was a sound in jazz that no one had ever heard before, sparking the “free jazz” revolution, which soon became one of its major currents. Despite an early lack of comprehension over what Coleman was doing, the titles of his early albums suggest that Coleman himself knew exactly how his music would influence the jazz world (Tomorrow Is the Question, Something Else), it was just a question of time. This, Coleman’s second album, recorded in 1959 in Los Angeles was produced by one of Coleman’s early supporters, Lester Koenig of the great Contemporary Records, and features Don Cherry on trumpet, Percy Heath / Red Mitchell on bass and Shelly Manne on drums. It was during this time that Coleman’s career began to take off, thanks in part to John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet who got Coleman and Cherry spots at the School of Jazz in Lenox, Massachusetts. This same year Coleman recorded his watershed album “The Shape of Jazz to Come”.

After their success with Blind Lemon Jefferson, Chicago’s Paramount was scouting for more male blues talent, and they found it in 1926 in a man called Blind Blake (1893-1933), a sophisticated guitar player who was the antithesis of Delta blues. Like many, he played his guitar like a piano but few did it with the talent of this man. Called the “King of Ragtime-blues”, no one had fingers as fast as Blind Blake, but by 1933 he was dead (some say his drinking killed him). These recordings taken from 1927-28 are a collection of Blind Blake’s early material, showcasing the man at his musical peak, before alcohol began to take its toll.

Time Further Out continues the Dave Brubeck Quartet's exploration of unusual time signatures that began on the ensemble's definitive 1959 album Time Out. Accompanied by an all-star cast, the esteemed pianist arranging tunes according to the number of beats per bar, in the process rewriting rhythmic rules and dance steps. In fact, the tracks are ordered by the number of beats per bar, starting with "It's a Raggy Waltz" and "Bluette" in 3/4, "Charles Matthew Hallelujah" in 4/4, "Far More Blue" and "Far More Drums" in 5/4, "Maori Blues" in 6/4, "Unsquare Dance" in 7/4, "Bru's Boogie Woogie" in 8/8, and concluding with "Blue Shadows in the Street" in 9/8.

Like the original Time Out album, Time Further Out's cover features a work of modern art: a painting by Spanish artist Joan Miro. Mastered from the original analog tape by George Marino at Sterling Sounds in New York and pressed at RTI in Camarillo, California, this record has never sounded so alive or immediate.

This is a wonderful live album recorded toward the end of Ella Fitzgerald's brilliant career. By concert's end it is apparent that she has about lost her voice, but not the audience's adoration. The album showcases her in various settings: with the reconstituted Chick Webb Orchestra, with Ellis Larkins, with Joe Pass and with Tommy Flanagan. Highlights include "Nice Work If You Can Get It," "Good Morning Heartache" (tribute to Lady Day), "Miss Otis Regrets," the first encore of "Some of these Days", and intended set-ender featuring Ella doing what she does best, scatting through "Lemon Drop."

It's hard to believe, but the highly acclaimed, classically trained Bill Evans had to wait until February 1966 before he could give a concert in New York. The city's Town Hall proffered an auspicious venue for the Trio after performing in clubs with their frequently bad conditions. Bill Evans also presents himself as a soloist, playing his own composition, which is dedicated to his father. The number is Ravel-like at the beginning, has two jazz improvisations in the middle section, and an almost epic finale - a construction he liked to employ not only in many of his works but also in his interpretation of standard numbers. The 1500-strong audience at the concert is remarkably hushed, and this is highly beneficial for the pensive, intuitive style of the pianist, for now he can concentrate on making contact with the bass player Chuck Israels and the percussionist Arnold Wise. It is obvious that both artists feel at home with Bill Evans' concept of equal status, which he continued to develop ever since the formation of his first Trio in 1958.

Cut at 45RPM by Bernie Grundman on his newly upgraded mastering system and tube powered lathe, these LPs will be plated and pressed by Pallas in Germany and sleeved in deluxe heavy duty gatefold jackets printed in Europe. They represent the very finest examples of the vinyl LP format available today.

Bernie Grundman Mastering recently upgraded his LP mastering and cutting system prior to starting work on the ORG LP reissues. These upgrades, together with the plating and pressing from Pallas Germany, will give the ORG LPs a sound never experienced before.

Bernie Grundman's Updated Mastering System:

• Brand new tape heads for the Studer playback tape machine including a complete hardwire with Cardas cables
• The power supplies on tube cutter amps have been updated and rewired with Cardas cable on the head leads and feedback
• The Studer in Bernie's cutting room is essentially transport only i.e. it is used for the superb stability of its mechanical parts. All the electronics (from the tape heads through to the cutting head on the lathe) have now been totally customized and hard-wired point to point
• The tube cutting amps used for the ORG LP reissues have just been re-tubed with ex-US military grade tubes from Sylvania

A giant of modern jazz, John Coltrane played in Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra, with Eddie Vinson's band and most notably with Miles Davis. He inspired and influenced many younger musicians with his distinctive and often adventurous playing. This quartet was formed in 1961.

When John Coltrane was asked, Why a ballads album?, he said Variety. Meaning a change of pace. And perhaps he wanted to apprise those who haven't discovered that he can be lyrical. John played the tunes straight, in the in-choruses, unless you count his lovely phrase endings as deviations from melody. When the development occurred, he made his musical points quickly and succinctly. I'd never heard him play this tightly. - Gene Lee (liner notes for Ballads)

John Coltrane, tenor & soprano saxophone

Phillips says, “As we toast the 60th anniversary of Prestige, we offer this collection as an appetizer, knowing full well that it can’t help but whet your appetite for much, much more of the tasty and ageless musical offerings available from the iconic label.”

Produced by Nick Phillips, the compilation of instrumental imporvisational music features music by a who's who of the jazz world in the '50s and '60s. Artists include Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Dexter Gordon, Lee Konitz/Lennie Tristano, MJQ, Thelonious Monk, James Moody and Sonny Rollins.

This long-overdue dream project becomes a reality with Jazz In The Garden. For his first straight-a-head acoustic jazz trio recording, Clarke assembles two brilliant collaborators at the top of their respective games: pianist Hiromi Uehara and drummer Lenny White. Each represents a distinctly different generational and cultural perspective, but given the range and versatility of both, the net effect is superb. Indeed, the synergy resulting from all three of these luminaries makes for one of the most refreshing Stanley Clarke recordings in recent years.

Ghetto Paradise features the rhythmic midas touch of legendary world jazz percussionist Trilok Gurtu (who has worked with everybody from John McLaughlin to Neneh Cherry), Liberian/German fretless bass extraordinaire Kai Eckhardt (also of John McLaughlin Trio and well known for his work in the 1990s with Billy Cobham) and additional musical textures from saxophonists Roberto Manzin and Ed Jones, bassist Davide Mantovani and percussionist Bosco de Oliveira. Both visually and sonically, Ghetto Paradise was highly inspired by the sight and sounds of Antonio’s upbringing in the Italian hilltop town of Montecilfone and the importance of family oriented life; even the cover photograph is the work of Forcione’s late father, Michele Forcione. Recorded by Peter Williams at September Sounds, London and originally mastered by Julian Vereker.

“Ghetto Paradise is a sophisticated mixture of Antonio’s unique style, and an amazing world class rhythm section. All ten tracks on the album have been written and arranged by Antonio, a glowing testimony to his abilities as a composer and to the fact that Antonio’s already considerable talent is just getting better and better! This album is a true high-point for Antonio’s original and popular guitar playing.” - Notes from Original Press Release

Every song here is a classic ballad, every performance an elegant masterstroke. Sinatra achieves sublime perfection, and several tracks here became the definitive versions with which he’s now forever associated. For instance, the rendition of “Night and Day” is the singer’s third on record, but it’s the best. So, too, is Sinatra’s run through “All or Nothing At All,” preceding the swinging version by five years. And the bold interpretation of “Stardust,” on which Ol’ Blue Eyes only croons the verses, stands as a testament to the natural chemistry between Sinatra and Costa.

Most importantly, Sinatra infuses the material with the rarified kind of genuine emotion, evocative phrasing, universal pathos, and gorgeous tones that made him legend. His deepening baritone provides a keen match with Costa’s lush string arrangements and methodical pace. Anyone who believes that Sinatra’s best work was during his time with Capitol needs to hear this grand, magnificent album, which is as good as anything he ever recorded. Love songs don’t come any more sincere, romantic, dramatic, or intense.

Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180-gram LP presents Sinatra & Strings with a premium sonic fidelity that no other edition, including the original vinyl, has ever had. Aware of the high quality demanded by discerning Sinatra fans, MoFi engineers took their time in extracting every possible detail and nuance from this gem, resulting a pressing that makes Sinatra and the orchestra come alive in your room. Nothing is artificially exaggerated or boosted; what you hear is what the artists intended, and the rich sound on this vocal album will satisfy your every need and desire. For Sinatraphiles, this is the ultimate.

Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90% of the highest quality co-polymer available, a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further, Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LP’s. Carbon Black contains trace metals that become magnetized and cause “electrical distortions” in cartridges during playback that smears the sound. By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the “electrical distortions” and thus bring more “Clarity” to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener and LP enthusiast.

45RPM records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LP’s. Further, Classic Records 45RPM “single sided” pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45RPM pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the “LOWEST DISTORTION” in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.

Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991): the original bad boy of French pop, the man all women wanted and all men wanted to be. He updated the French chanson and made it hip again, infusing it with the youth culture of the late 50s and 60s: one that was ruled by jazz, drugs and free love. The music of Gainsbourg heralded in this new era and his earliest songs became the soundtrack for a generation of Parisian youths. Side A features songs that originally appeared in 1959 on his second album (here in stereo), “No. 2”. Here Gainsbourg fronts the Alain Goraguer et Son Orchestre on songs like Le Claqueur de Doigts, a song about seducing chicks at a jukebox....a standard operating tactic for Gainsbourg! While side B features material from his 1958 debut, “Du Chant a la Lune!”, which featured early hits like “Le Poinconneur Des Lilas” the morbid tale of a Paris Metro ticket man who contemplates suicide to free him from the monotony of his life. Tracks 1-3 on side B were recorded live at the “Theatre des 3 Baudets” in November, 1958, while tracks 8-10 are taken from Gainsbourg's score for Jacques Doniol-Valcroze's 1960 film “L'Eau a la Bouche” (A Game for Six Lovers). While it has always been somewhat difficult for English audiences to appreciate Gainsbourg, due to the language barrier that keeps us from fulling appreciating the sharp wit and raunchy innuendos that permeate his brilliant lyrical style, I find that if I allow the music to carry me to the world of 1960s Parisian vice, my imagination can fill in the rest!

This double album was recorded in three days in August of 1969 and is often heralded as the first shot fired in the fusion movement. Davis had already spearheaded two major jazz movements (cool and modal jazz) and was about to initiate another major change (the album's cover also sports the phrase Directions In Music By Miles Davis above the title.)

After a host of great albums for the Mercury label, Sassy signed with Roulette in 1960 and promptly picked up where she left off. Always surrounding herself with first rate arrangers and sidemen, the 1963 sessions that made up The Lonely Hours pairs her with the sensational multi-talented Benny Carter. His astute charts, especially the take on Ellington's Solitude enhance the feelings of longing, loneliness, heartache and lost love while Vaughan's patented phrasing and interpretations sell the mood. A bakers dozen of great selections including Lonely Hours, I'll Never Be The Same, If I Had You, Friendless, You're Driving Me Crazy, Always On My Mind, Look For Me, I'll Be Around, What'll I Do?, These Foolish Things Remind Me Of You, The Man I Love and So Long-My Love. Produced by Teddy Reig.

This record combines together a complete session that Sonny Stitt (doubling on alto and tenor) did with the 1959 Oscar Peterson Trio (which includes the pianist/leader, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) and three titles from 1957 with Peterson, Brown, guitarist Herb Ellis and drummer Stan Levey. The music very much has the feel of a jam session and, other than a themeless blues, all of the songs are veteran standards. Highlights on this fine effort include 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love,' 'The Gypsy,' 'Scrapple From The Apple,' 'Easy Does It' and 'I Remember You.' Lots of cooking music. – All Music Guide

Among Sonny Stitt’s innumerable recordings, this production, made in a Parisian studio in May 1959, is undoubtedly one of his very best. To be sure, this is greatly due to the contribution of the tremendously talented rhythm group. It is certainly a privilege to play sessions alongside such musicians as Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. Shortly before recording these funky, back-to-the-roots numbers Sonny Stitt had set down a somewhat over-arranged LP with Jimmy Giuffre. Maybe that is why his joy in music-making comes over so clearly in these eight titles. The repertoire too is interesting because the A side is dedicated to his great musical hero Charlie Parker and contains two of his hits, namely “Au Privave” and “Scrapple From The Apple,” while the B side reflects the relaxed, cool world of Count Basie, Lester Young and Ben Webster. It’s only logical therefore, that Stitt changes from the alto sax to the tenor for two numbers from the early days of the Count Basie Orchestra, a time when the two musicians were outstanding soloists. Stitt shows that by 1959 he had found his own, sophisticated style and the unmistakable sound on both saxophones is just as present on this Verve LP as on his other recordings.

When planning this album, I had a hellish time trying to choose what I thought were the absolute cream of Billie Holiday. In the course of this wrestling, it struck me that not only were Billie’s vocals incredibly perfect, but that I could not remember a single instance of anyone playing a bad solo or even a bad phrase among the hundred or more performances I had to choose from in the golden period of her work. Checking over records (which was almost unnecessary, because I could still remember them almost note for note) was a rather beautiful and somewhat shattering experience. Jazz, a product of so many things, musical evolution, the social scene of a particular time, the economic atmosphere of the moment, what somebody had for breakfast that day and none of those tings will ever come together again as they did when these records were made. - Excerpt from George Avakian’s Liner Notes

During a career that spans nearly six decades, Ray Charles has appeared on over 250 recordings, many of them top-sellers, across a variety of genres. And, while he has performed with various artists in the past, this Concord Records release is his first full album of duets. After a year in the making, the legendary pianist and composer has released his first, new recording since 2001 on the Concord jazz label. He sings a dozen duets on Genius Loves Company with a dazzling array of guest artists such as BB King, Norah Jones, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, and Willie Nelson on what Blender Magazine calls, 'his strongest collection since the '70s.'

Sun Ra was an extremely prolific artist and while hundreds of his recordings exist, there are only a handful where he can be heard playing solo. This amazing and rare solo performance recorded live in 1977 at the world-famous La Fenice opera house in Venice, and featuring Sun Ra playing a mix of standards as well as his own material on piano, is a rewarding journey into the repertoire of one of the most controversial and unorthodox musicians in the history of jazz.
